When it comes to building for the future, two things matter most: sustainability and safety. Rockpanel façade boards and ROCKWOOL insulation are both made from volcanic rock – an abundant natural resource with unique properties. Together, they provide a construction solution that is beautiful, durable, fire-resilient, and truly sustainable.

Rockpanel delivers the design freedom: lightweight, easy-to-install façade boards available in 200+ colours and finishes, offering high UV stability and minimal maintenance.
HECK Wallsystems provide seamless rendered façade surfaces with a broad range of textures and finishes — ideal for creating smooth, monolithic looks or harmonising with surrounding architecture. HECK enables a fully integrated plaster façade solution with strong durability and design flexibility.
ROCKWOOL forms the foundation behind both systems. The robust, non-combustible ROCKWOOL insulation ensures lasting thermal comfort, acoustic performance, and high-level fire protection — no matter which façade finish is chosen.
Together, Rockpanel and HECK Wallsystems show that you don’t have to choose between façade board or render. Many of our case studies demonstrate how both systems can coexist on the same building, combining contrasting textures, depth, and architectural expression all while sharing the same reliable insulation core.
One building envelope. Multiple design possibilities. One ROCKWOOL-standard performance.
When designing a façade, it’s not a matter of choosing either HECK Wallsystems or Rockpanel. In fact, both solutions can complement one another perfectly. HECK and Rockpanel are part of the ROCKWOOL Group, which means they share the same high-performance ROCKWOOL insulation core behind the façade ensuring fire safety, durability and robust thermal performance as a foundation.
Where HECK Wallsystems provide a seamless, plastered finish with a high degree of design flexibility, Rockpanel offers durable façade boards in a wide range of colours and textures. Together, they allow architects and contractors to combine aesthetics and performance in one project: smooth transitions, varied facade surfaces, and a unified building envelope all without compromising on sustainability or long-term performance.
Our recent case studies show this in practice: projects where HECK and Rockpanel are used side-by-side to create rich architectural expressions while keeping the construction build-up efficient and consistent. In other words you don’t need to choose. You can have the best of both worlds, supported by one trusted system backbone.

Architects are very flexible in their design choices, with a wide range of colours and designs available for exterior cladding.
A ventilated facade protects the building against weather influences and has natural ventilation. Algae and moisture problems do not occur and mould cannot grow because the facade is ‘self-breathing’.
Using a ventilated facade construction can offer many advantages during construction and afterwards, including cost benefits.
A safe, healthy and comfortable living environment is vital for inhabitants or users of a building.

Across Europe, countless projects already demonstrate the combined benefits of Rockpanel façades and ROCKWOOL insulation. Whether in high-rise apartment refurbishments, schools, healthcare facilities, or residential homes, the synergy of these two stone-based solutions ensures lasting value and peace of mind.
Recycling plays a central role at ROCKWOOL: 96% of the stone wool offcuts from production are reused in our recycling facilities.
With the Rockcycle waste take-back service, the circle is completed: offcuts from installation, renovation, and deconstruction are collected and recycled into new ROCKWOOL insulation materials.
Together, ROCKWOOL, Rockpanel and HECK Wall Systems offer façade solutions that are not only flexible in design and technically reliable, but also consistently geared towards circular, future-proof construction.
We manufacture board material mostly used in ventilated constructions, for facade cladding, roof detailing, soffits and fascias.
